Client reviews
In this competitive market we were careful to interview agents who would be a good fit for us. Emily helped us with every aspect of the selling process. She always took the extra step and kept us in the loop. Ultimately, we were well positioned to sell quickly and at full price thanks to Emily! She is savvy and ethical. She knows the market and cares about her clients. I would highly recommend her!
Emily Murphy was our agent and she was absolutely wonderful! She was knowledgeable and responsive. Most importantly, she was caring and kind. She made looking for a home while being out of state a seamless process. She was truthful and transparent about areas, homes, and prices. After a relatively short time, we were able to close on a beautiful home in the exact area we wanted! We love our new home and are so grateful for Emily and the entire Property Specific Team.
Emily gets things done! She made the whole process of selling so much smoother. Our closing process ended up being slightly complicated but Emily stayed on top of the details and made sure closing went well. I would definitely recommend her.
So grateful for Emily! We had the opportunity to work with her on the purchase of our Raleigh investment property in March 2021 and then the sale of the same house in September 2025. Both experiences were smooth, and Emily did a great job of staying on top of all of the details. The sale of the house proved a bit challenging with several issues needing problem-solving (specifically with handling unexpected issues regarding the buyer's lender), but she did an incredible job of keeping things on track all the way through closing. My husband and I highly recommend Emily, and we are thankful for the knowledge and expertise she brings to the table as an agent. Thanks, Emily!
Emily and her people did an absolutely amazing job at marketing and showing our home. Emily listed our house on a Thursday officially; the first 3 showings were the following day, and then 3 more on that Saturday. There was a cash offer made from one of the 3 viewings on that Saturday, that we accepted. A full asking price cash offer. Emily also managed to have a beautiful home in the listings she was showing that we ended up purchasing. We closed on the house we bought on December 10th at approximately 11:00 AM and the house we were selling, closed an hour previously. Emily did an absolutely amazing job on both ends of her task and we will never have an issue in very strongly recommending her to anyone who asks my wife, Brande or I, as to who the best realtor in our area is, Emily Murphy.
Emily is amazing! We had the best experience with her purchasing our home. She is knowledgeable, patient, and a joy to work with. Cannot recommend enough!
One of the hardest sales any of us could have imagined. The whole time she was delightful and hard working and patient. I didn't even think I was going to come out positive in the end but she did it. Made the entire situation feel like from “taking a long walk on a short pier” to a busy vacation. I haven't been this happy with service ever!
I chose to go with Emily Murphy of Property Specific Real Estate in Wake Forest, N.C. after speaking with her for the first time. I was extremely pleased with her attitude, professionalism, attention to detail, and desire to follow my wishes, even as she made some very valuable suggestions of her own. I have bought and sold several houses during my many moves and have never felt like the agents I worked with could be a friend, but that was the way I felt with Emily. I will recommend Emily's name to anyone who is looking for a reliable, enthusiastic, and honest realtor to help them buy or sell a home! The sale was made relatively easy, even with the few challenges we encountered. I am 100% pleased! Thank you so much!
Thank you Emily for assisting me through the homebuying process. As a first time homebuyer, this process can be a bit intimidating, but you remained available throughout. I am settling into my new home and making the place my own. Your professionalism and courtesy displayed were superb. Once again, thank you.
Emily has been awesome! Not only were we referred to her, but also benefited from many of her referrals. She is honest, quick to respond, and patient. As our first time buying a house in NC, she did a great job communicating clearly and in sufficient detail. In short, she makes for a great house hunting partner and helps to ensure the process goes smoothly.
Emily was great to work with! She went way out of her way to help me get multiple estimates for work needed on the house I purchased. During walkthroughs, Emily made an effort to point out things I would've never thought to look at when checking out different homes. She was also ready to answer any question I had and was quick to respond back. I would highly recommend working with her if you are ready to buy/sell. I plan on recommending Emily to my friends and family when they plan on doing the same!
Emily was great to work with. She has helped us with a couple of transactions in the past (both selling and buying properties). She is very responsive and super friendly. We would definitely work with her again.
Emily is thorough and patient. She helps me to understand the real estate “jargon” that I don't quite understand yet. I feel taken care of and that I'm in good hands. I highly recommend working with Emily Murphy as your Real Estate Agent.
I have had the pleasure of working with Emily on multiple real estate transactions. She is always knowledgeable, organized, and always looks out for the best interest of her clients. She is always kind, professional and a pleasure to work with. Whether buying or selling a home, you will definitely be in good hands.
It was such a pleasure working with Emily Murphy and Jessica Gomez - through Property Specific. As a team they were always punctual, helpful, responsive and patient. They took great care of us and walked us through every step of the process. Jessica even goes into crawl spaces! Since we were relocating from another state, we started the process of looking for houses about a year before we were ready to buy. This allowed Emily and Jessica to understand our likes and dislikes. Once we came to North Carolina, the houses we toured were for the most part on target with our style. We trust this team and recommend them for your home search - if we could give a rating of more than five stars, we would!
Thanks Emily for being with us throughout our home buying journey process. I highly recommend, as we got the best realtor any buyer should have. You answered every call and text message on time. Working with you we had a great experience. Thank you so much.
